A release device mounted in a bicycle includes a fork including a socket
at a bent portion and two yoke arms extended downward from both sides of
the socket to mount a front wheel at distal ends thereof; a sleeve
fastened in the socket with an upper portion thereof projecting from the
socket, the sleeve including at least one longitudinal top slit; an
abutment tube including an upper extension passing a head tube to be
threadedly secured to a stem; and a clamp put on an upper portion of the
sleeve. The clamp is adapted to either fasten the sleeve and the abutment
tube together by contracting the slit by exerting a force in a first
direction or unfasten the sleeve and the abutment tube by exerting a
force in a second direction opposing the first direction.
